Minutes from previous two meetings approved.

Review status of action items from previous meeting

In consultation with Thomas and Peter who ran the last
meeting, Ken consolidated most of the action items as discussion points
under agenda item 3 (see agenda for details of consolidation), moved one action item to archive status, and
leaving one action to consider.

Action
1: Kathy and Peter to add citations to the reference list
and link them from the fuzzy/probabilistic scenario.

Action carried over.

Define how to come up with interchange requirements for
various uncertainty mechanisms.

First, Ernesto, who is new to the group, was welcomed. We
clarified that our incubator group is chartered with identifying the
kinds of concepts we will need to represent in order for web scale
applications to process uncertainty, not writing a future UIF
(Uncertainty Interchange Format) itself. Ernesto pointed out that the
annotations need to have enough expressive power to distinguish between
diffferent calculi to express statements such as "this model assumes
multi valued logics with integer truth values". Ernesto will take a
look and let us know what use-case he would like to tackle.

Peter proposed to use namespaces to identify ontology
used. Ken suggested urw3: as a prefix. Authors' initials could be added
(such as urw3-kjl:) if necessary.

Kathy will look at Discovery use case annotations and
Peter's annotations and try to annotate Appointment Making use case. To
facilitate annotation, she also suggested to put the ontology into html
with named targets at each of the concepts. Others should also annotate
use cases or review and comment on ones already annotated.

Peter noted the need for annotation tools. Ken suggested
that the tools should be mentioned in the final report.

Schedule dates for next telecons

The next telecons will be scheduled for Jan 9 and every
two weeks thereafter into March.

Additional items, it time allows

Matthias on Springer volume:
Volume will contain the combined post-proceedings of all previous URSW
workshops. We expect significantly revised and possibly extended papers
from previous URSW workshops and invited papers; invited people will,
in some cases, be people outside present uncertainty discussions to
widen scope. Deadline for revised papers will be ~end of March. Goal is
to publish in Summer 2008. Page limits: 15-18 pages; invited papers:
20-25 pages. Review will focus on constructive comments, not
acceptance.

F2F meeting:
Postponed. It could take place before summer vacation break - would be
good when have conclusions of this XG to have meeting to discuss
specifics plans for moving forward.

Meeting was adjourned.
